I'm Darren Smith, and I'm an entrepreneur and a PhD candidate studying entrepreneurship! I am conducting a research study to explore how founders with ADHD experience deep focus and hyperfocus during their venture work, as part of my dissertation efforts. I am writing to invite you to participate in a short video interview if you identify as an entrepreneur who has a diagnosis of ADHD or highly suspects having ADHD.
What is involved? If you agree to participate, you will be asked to join a 30 to 45-minute interview via Microsoft Teams. During this conversation, we will discuss your work habits, your experiences with focus, and how you manage your energy. With your permission, the interview will be audio-recorded to ensure accuracy.
